Magic Shadows

It had been a long time since I had worked with shadow puppets. West Town Farm's Winter Fayre seemed a good time to return. There is something so simple but so mysteriously powerful in the way that card, sticks, screen and light can bring your imagination out into the world. The screen was hung in the yurt and backlit with a soft light. Then, working on straw bales with rain pattering on the barn roof, people made puppets ... apples, horses, falcons, wizards and ... more! Here are some pictures!
